    DreamiiMochi​  It's a known issue with certain graphics settings; I believe it happens at times when Advanced Rendering is disabled.  If you want to enable it, make sure to also enable Object Hiding.  Both are check boxes on the graphics settings page.

    Make the changes at the Main Menu, then quit to desktop before loading a save.

DreamiiMochi​  To address your comment in your other thread, most mods are actually completely fine with patch 1.70.  That includes all NRaas mods with the exception of UntranslatedKey, which is for developers anyway.  If you have a question about a specific mod, feel free to ask, but in general, you can use anything you'd use on patch 1.67 or 1.69.

Core mods can throw an error when the game's internal build number doesn't match the mod, although this tends not to happen on patch 1.70.  But most Sims 3 mods are script or tuning mods and wouldn't be affected by the version as long as it's at least 1.66.

At any rate, one immediate issue here is the NRaas MasterController Progression add-on, which can crash the game if either the MC or StoryProgression base module isn't present.  MC Progression is meant to be a bridge between the two mods.

Additionally, if you don't own the Store bakery set, or it isn't loading, having NRaas Cupcake present will definitely crash the game on loading.

Ohh, Thank you so much!! It was definitely due to the fact that I didn't have story progression installed but I'll definitely be deleting NRaas Cupcake if causes game crashes. As recently my game tends to crash during gameplay, so that could be the reason why right?
